The documentary will go globally live on Netflix on the 5th April, 2023. Named “Lewis Capaldi; How I’m Feeling Now“, the film is in partnership with Netflix, BMG and Pulse Films and executive produced by Independent Entertainment, BMG and Quickfire Films.

The fact that the creation of the documentary started around four years ago, it picks up insights of the singers most crucial moments facing towards his career. It captures Capaldi’s struggle as a young pop artist, holding an absurd weight of fame on his shoulders he had to balance a life within his household. It shows a battle for normality, the making of a new album and the representation of the latter in his own words. It is essentially about the popstar going back to his roots and reconnecting with the life he had before.

Ever since the scottish singer released his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent back in 2019 he’s kicked off on a ceaseless streak. Becoming a worldwide best seller, it will be interesting to delve into unseen footage and stories. It is a chance for Capaldi to showcase where the interesting character he is, comes from.

Not long after the documentary release, we will also be granted with a follow up release from his debut album. The scotsman will be releasing a studio album Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent only fourteen days later on the 19th May, 2023. The emotional rollercoaster has taken a hold on him, bearing in mind the circumstances, and sits clearly in his upcoming sound to be released. He mentions “I don’t want to create a new sound for myself, or reinvent myself. The songs I want to write are emotional songs, about love or loss.”

To fully air tighten the bag, he started his Worldwide tour earlier this year. Following up with his two big project releases, he set off this January on his journey. Starting in Leeds at the Direct Arena on the 14th January he has not stopped since. On the 30th March he will be crossing the pond to tour through the US, to then come back over to Italy, Switzerland, Australia, following onto the UK and finally finishing off in Athens, Greece on the 16th September. A journey and a half, that’s for sure.

Speaking directly to his fans, Capaldi said: “I have been diagnosed with Tourette’s. I wanted to speak about it because I didn’t want people to think I was taking cocaine or something.” He described the situation as “new” and said, “I haven’t really learnt much about it.” He revealed he has had Botox on his shoulder to help stop it from moving and that he is “learning new ways to cope all the time.” When speaking on the diagnosis he went on to say: “When they told me, “We think you’ve got Tourette’s”, I was like, “Do you know what, that makes so much sense”. When I look back at my interviews from 2018 I can see that I’m doing it.”

According to the NHS, Tourette’s syndrome usually starts during childhood and the tics and other symptoms usually improve after several years and sometimes go away completely. Lewis revealed that his tic affects his shoulder. “My shoulder twitches when I am excited, happy, nervous, or stressed, it is something I am living with. It’s not as bad as it looks,” he said, “It comes and goes. Sometimes I can go months without doing it. I thought I had some horrible degenerative disease so I’ll take Tourette’s.”

Capaldi isn’t the only pop star to reveal a Tourette’s diagnosis in recent months. Billie Eilish opened up about living with the condition during an interview with David Letterman for Netflix. “If you film me for long enough, you’re going to see lots of tics,” she said. “I don’t care. It’s really weird, I haven’t talked about it at all.

Capaldi spoke about his diagnosis following sold-out two nights at London’s O2 Arena. During the show he announced he would be releasing a new single ‘Forget Me’ which is due out on 9th September. He treated fans to a snipped of the new track during his second show in London. Capaldi shot to fame after his single ‘Someone You Loved’ became the best-selling single of 2019 in the UK. In May 2020, the song had become the longest-running top 10 UK single of all time by a British artist. ‘Forget Me’ is Lewis’ first release since his debut album Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent spent 10 weeks at the top of the UK charts.

The artist announced the news through twitter, keeping his notorious dead-pan humour intact throughout the statement. “Going to fuck off for a wee bit now to crack on and finish the second album. Won’t be using social media so you’ll all have to make do without me talking shite and constantly trying to take your money by flogging you something,” he explained.

“Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and I’ll see you big lovely bastards later in the year with some new music that imagine will be universally panned by critics and will fail to be as commercially successful as my last outing. “Thus spelling the beginning of the end of the 15 minutes of fame that quite frankly, I never deserved in the first place. IT’S ALL VERY EXCITING. LOVE YOU, STAY SAFE AND BYE FOR NOW.”

The young singer-songwriter turned head throughout 2020, receiving multiple awards and topping the charts with his hit single ‘Someone You Loved’ and his debut album ‘Divinely Uninspired To A Hellish Extent’ was the UK’s best-selling album of 2019 and 2020. While the absence of the beloved artist is upsetting to fans, they can be rest assured that Capaldi will return with an album that is sure to excite.
